Quick Reference Guide flipbook (pp. 13 ? 16) Duplicate one copy of each page per student. Have students cut and assemble the flipbooks according to instructions on page 16. The flipbook is intended to be a review and reference resource, rather than comprehensive instruction. You may have students record additional notes as needed on the backs of the pages.

Notebook Foldable Pieces (pp. 17 ? 22) Nouns (pp. 17 - 18) Have students cut out the flip-flap pieces along solid lines and glue the ? inch margin strip into the notebook. I have found it easier to glue the pieces into the notebook before cutting the flaps apart. They may add notes, including definitions and examples on the back of the flaps as well as on the notebook paper underneath the flaps. For the Compound Noun puzzle pieces, I have students record several common examples of each type of compound by writing the nouns on the two flaps and writing the compounds correctly on the notebook paper beneath. Cutting the puzzle pieces along the lines may be difficult; I let students just cut them apart in a straight line, but we talk about how the jigsaw pieces symbolize the words acting as one unit. Pronouns (pp. 18 -19) The Types of Pronouns foldable can be cut, glued into the notebook, and folded accordion-style. You might provide a paperclip to hold the piece closed, or you can just have students crease the paper carefully. Have students cut out the Personal Pronouns chart and glue it onto a notebook page. They can then add labels and the title by gluing those pieces in place. Verbs (pp. 20 ? 21) The Types of Verbs and the Verbals flip-flap pieces can be used the same way as the Nouns pieces listed above, with students recording definitions and examples on the backs of the flaps and on the notebook paper. The Verbs tab booklet should be assembled by cutting the pieces out, stacking them with the cover on top, and then gluing or stapling the top edge. This piece can also be glued into the notebook, and extra notes can be added on the backs of the pages. Sentence Patterns (p. 22) Have students cut these foldable pieces out and glue the top strip into their notebooks. You may choose to have students cut the puzzle pieces apart to make flaps (straight cuts are easier). Under the flaps, students can record sample sentences for each basic sentence/clause pattern. I use this to reinforce which parts of speech perform each role in the sentence.

To Assemble Quick Reference Flipbook 1. Cut along solid lines. 2. Stack with longest page (prepositions) on

bottom and cover on top. 3. Staple above dashed line. 4. Glue or staple into notebook. I have students take additional notes throughout the year by writing on the back of the previous page in their flipbooks.

To Assemble Types of Nouns Flaps 1. Cut along solid lines. 2. Fold on dashed lines. 3. Place four or five dots of glue on back of

the "spine," the narrow strip with the title. 4. Glue into notebook.

We write definitions and useful reminders on the flaps. The students write their own examples on the notebook paper under the flap. I walk around and monitor for understanding by reading their examples.

To Assemble Compound Nouns Flaps

1. Cut outside edges and cut apart the two puzzle pieces that make each foldable. If cutting apart the puzzle pieces is too challenging, students can cut these in a straight line.

2. Place four or five dots of glue on back of the "spine," the narrow strip with the title.

3. Glue into notebook, lining up the matching puzzle pieces.
